Accelerated energy transition 2-degree scenario (2019): what happens to the gas industry?
Report summary
The industry is still recovering from the coronavirus pandemic and commodity price crash. But throughout the crises, decarbonisation has remained high on the industry’s agenda, and key players continue to commit to their energy transition targets. Wood Mackenzie has developed an Accelerated Energy Transition Scenario - 2 (AET-2), which considers how the world can limit global warming under 2 ˚C by 2050. We have utilised our new Global Gas Model Next Generation to understand the impact of the AET-2 scenario on global gas supply and prices, supply mixes in key regions as well as the global LNG outlook.
